Smedley also added that he showed stewards a radio transcript that proves Force India allowed Perez to continue despite a rear brake issue.

“We showed them evidence from the radio transcript – which I think was around lap 67 – where he [Pérez] said ‘I’ve no rear brakes’ I think was his comment,” Smedley said. “They [Force India] said ‘Well if you can carry on, carry on, and if you can’t, pit’.

“That says to me it’s a fairly terminal problem.”

Perez had moved up from 13th on the grid yesterday to shadow then-race leader Nico Rosberg in the second half of the race before the braking problems set in during the final laps.

Perez needs to man up and admit he mover over to block and touched Massa’s front tire causing a very dangerous crash where both drivers could have been seriously injured. Perez tends to suffer from the “red mist” when racing. Driving into the side of Button @ 200 mph on a STRAIGHT is a perfect example. He needs to dial the aggression back a tenth and keep his cool. He’ll do better just as crasher Grosjean had to learn. You can’t win the race if you don’t finish the race.

I think he did cause this one but I don’t feel he is too aggressive in general. McLaren criticized him for being too passive so he turned the wick up against Button. And once he did that, he outperformed Button.

i only saw massa move right but i didnt analyze it enough to see exactly the brake points and the camera angles to the track and im sure brake issues had a little to do with it. going to take a look at that link….

Could not tell if Perez moved left to block, but it was easy to see there was a big speed difference between the two cars at the point of impact. Perhaps Perez’s car got sqirrely under hard braking with only the front brakes working.
